Hi Bob,

I tried a number of alternatives and permutations to try and plot a  
list of two points
with an associated list of Directives (per your input below).

The most straightforward I thought would be

ListPointPlot3D[{{0.75, 0.75, 0.75}, {.25, .25, .25}},
  PlotStyle -> {Directive[PointSize[0.05], Hue[.5]],
    Directive[PointSize[0.05], Hue[1]]},PlotRange -> {{0, 1}, {0, 1},  
{0, 1}}]

But neither it (nor the other things I tried) gave the desired result  
of two different
coloured and sized points.

I would appreciate the right way to do this for this trivial example.

Thanks..... Syd
